‘Lisa and the Devil’ & ‘The House of Exorcism’ (1973/1975): Bava’s arty failure gets exploitation makeover

Ahhhhh…the falling leaves. The soft, orangey twilight at day’s dimming. The pumpkins. The apple cider. The grown adults decorating their houses and lawns with plastic skeletons and ghosts and asking you, apparently the only neighbor left who likes to keep to himself, what you think of it with their idiotic grins, pissing themselves because they’re… Read More ‘Lisa and the Devil’ & ‘The House of Exorcism’ (1973/1975): Bava’s arty failure gets exploitation makeover

‘The Mephisto Waltz’ (1971): Occult thriller channels TV production values

I don’t know…maybe Satanism is the way to go. I mean, it’s not like there’s anything on TV. And Jesus palomino is it ever hot this summer. If I gotta dance around a dead tree in the buff, wearing a goat head, just to head off streaming boredom and the searing heat, well…. Wait, I got a… Read More ‘The Mephisto Waltz’ (1971): Occult thriller channels TV production values
